as for injuries.. i think if it is due to unfortunate reasons that a serious amount of his players are injured, by that i mean he didn't trade for the players who are at that time injured and that they are regulars should they be healthy.. i'd agree it would be kind of stupid to try to get GPs with their picks just to meet the GP requirements as they are low on assets already.. like.. in NHL they can just call up their players from their farm team.. but in our case we can't.. so i think we should give some leeways if they are not intentionally tanking or missing GPs by acquiring injured players..

Tough situation all around bc Few people are selling GP for picks

That depends on the GP pieces you are offering. Most of the time when a GP piece is being offered, they want the moon and the starts for that player because the selling GM knows you have to acquire the GP pieces to meet the minimum or be punished. In the NHL, a Kari Lehtonen does not get a 1st round pick, and a David Booth does not get a 3rd round pick. When there is a huge discrepancy in price/value, it tells you that something needs to be changed.

It's an interesting scenario for the rebuilding teams. In one case, I was offered a d-man who could potentially play 20-30 games next year... but my team already has too many of those what if types, so to me that player has little value. I'd rather a draft pick or a prospect instead.
